News   What Others Are Saying

For our detailed impressions of the shooters:
Army Men Advance
Earthworm Jim
Iridion 3D

Otherwise, check out some quotes we've compiled from other sources...

Earth Worm Jim:

IGN Pocket:
“Earthworm Jim made for a great character in a decent console adventure, and the Game Boy Advance version came out rather pretty well.”
Score: 7.0/10

Tendo Box:
” In retrospect, this port of Earthworm Jim is well done for a launch title.”
Score: 7/10

GameSpot:
”For fans of the original Earthworm Jim games, this is a real treat that provides an exercise in nostalgia while still being legitimately fun. For first-timers, Jim introduces a whole new generation of gamers to his bizarre brand of off-kilter platforming action.”
Score: 7.5/10


Iridion 3D:

IGN Pocket:
“…pretty pictures and an amazing soundtrack does not make a great game, and where this game falls apart is in its redundant and flat gameplay -- it's just not exciting to play.”
Score: 5.5/10

PlanetGameCube:
“My overall impression of Iridion -3D- is that it is kind of lackluster. It is a truly phenomenal looking (and sounding) game. But, there isn't enough to do in it.”

Tendo Box:
“If anything whatsoever besides aesthetics appeals to you, avoid this game like a lumbering female sasquatch in heat.”
Score: 3.5/10

GameSpot:
“Do yourself a favor and take a look at Iridion 3-D before buying it. It looks great, and it will really sell you on this whole portable gaming thing.”
Score: 5.6/10


Army Men Advance:

Gamespot:
With so many quality games available for the launch of the GBA, Army Men Advance should be near the bottom of your list.
